Opening Day

This morning Gracie wore her "Already Breaking Hearts" onesie from Erin and Kareem. Then mommy realized it was Opening Day so Gracie put on a more appropriate outfit. Russell and Dan gave Gracie a ton of Yankees gear so Uncle Teddy wouldn't corrupt her with his love of the Mets. Go, Yankees!

Blue Jean Baby

Gracie wore jeans for the first time. She woke up and hung out with Aunt Katie this morning. Then she read a book while we got ready. In the afternoon, she spent some time with Sarah and Lauren. Then we took her for a walk in Central Park.

16 Weeks Old

Today we went to brunch with the Blaus, and then Grace was lucky to have a visit with Aunt Enid, Uncle Keith, Cousin Greer, Uncle Zac and Aunt Katie. Tonight Aunt Meredith came to hang out, too. Week 16 Album.

Belated Bday Wishes and Kisses

Grace and I went to lunch with Jessie and baby Noah, and then went to Lauren and baby Caroline's house with Hallie and baby Ethan for a playdate. We had a great time. Tonight Uncle Teddy celebrated his birthday, which was earlier in the week. Happy Birthday, Uncle T!

Gracie Goes to Greenwich

Gracie crossed state lines today for the first time! She went to meet Daddy's friends at work in CT, all thanks to Kathy and Ruben. After lunch with Daddy, we headed back to the city for a playgroup with Amalia, Jake and Olivia. The babies lined up for a picture, and they got kind of frisky. Check out Jake's hand on Olivia's thigh...and Amalia reaching for Jake's ???. Whoa there. NYC kids really do move fast.

No Gracie, No Cry

Daddy got Gracie up this morning, and she loved it. When he left for work, we played dress up. Top right she is looking serious in her Bob Marley onesie. In the afternoon she put on a lighter, pinker outfit. Doesn't she look a little like Rocky in the hooded pic? Must be her Philly blood.

Learning to Read

Grace still has blonde eyebrows, but her lashes are getting darker.

After spending the morning reading and lounging in Juicy Baby Couture, we went to a lunch at Kidville.

Then we took a walk to Central Park with Grace's friends Caroline, Ethan and Jake. Tonight Aunt Meredith came to visit.

It's fun to stay at the...

Gracie and I went to our last New Mom, New Baby class at the YMCA today. From L to R: Ethan, Caroline, Ryan, Grace, Lucy, Nina and Daniel.

NCAA Sunday

Grace watched lots of basketball today - at home and even out at a local sports bar, The Back Page. This afternoon, however, was the highlight of her day: George Meyer and his parents came over for brunch.

15 Weeks Old

Grace, Daddy and I went to brunch with Neil and Erin today, and then we took a walk. In the afternoon Grandma, Uncle Zac, Uncle Teddy and Aunt Katie came to visit and made Grace laugh. A lot. Week 15 Album.

Big Girl Seat

Grace put on her diape(red) onesie from Daddy and snowmass socks from Grandpa. She was so fascinated with the design on the socks that she kept folding over/falling forward to stare at her feet...which explains why we took off her pants. It made checking them out easier. Hilarious. Early this morning, Grace and I went to visit her twin friends, Nina and Daniel. While we were out, Daddy put her big girl seat on the stroller for her afternoon walk to the park with him, Uncle Zac, Rachel and me. Gracie liked the new seat a million times better than the car seat! Tonight all three of us went out for dinner, and then Daddy and Gracie watched basketball - she loves sports on TV, especially golf.

Party Dress

Grace got all dressed up today in her dress from Jenn because she had places to go. She went to lunch with her friends Caroline, Ethan and Lily at Vynl. Ethan's mom, Hallie, took an awesome photo of C, E and G.

Then in the early evening Grace went to a Tot Purim service with Olivia, Amalia and Jonah. Despite an intense amount of noise from the groggers, she passed out for 15 minutes of the 30 minute event. Afterwards we went to get dinner before coming home to get ready for bed.

Caught Redhanded

I was in a red mood today - check out Grace's outfit, the fruit punch gatorade and twizzlers. Here is a pic of me catching Grace watching TV with my snack.

Out and About

Today Grace and I went to a new mom lunch about sleep, and then we stopped to get her a new toy. Below is a video of her playing with it. In the afternoon, we went to the Sussberg's to play. Grace loved hanging out with all the older (9 months - 1 year) boys. Hubba, hubba. Tonight Aunt Meredith came over. What a great day!

Hanging with Her Friends

Grace loves going to our Monday class at the Y. Whenever she's around her baby friends, she loves tummy time. Holding up those chubby cheeks is a tough job, but she's willing to do it in order to see what all her friends are up to. Check out how high she is holding her head. Fun times.

Sunday Fun

Today we went to brunch for Uncle Zac's bday. While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, Gracie practiced her hand-eye coordination.

After we got home, Daddy kept Grace entertained. Check out this video of her reaching for the bird and then getting frustrated that she couldn't pull it off. In the other video she alternates between trying to whack the bird and trying to eat her rattle.


Meryl and Joey came over for dinner. Good times.
